Australian Rock Collective Presents Hotel California The 50th Anniversary

Today, local supergroup Australian Rock Collective (ARC) announces a new tour, performing the Eagles’ legendary album HOTEL CALIFORNIA in full to mark the 50th anniversary of one of the most significant albums in popular music, as well as their greatest hits, across Australia this June.

ARC is undoubtedly Australia’s most celebrated supergroup, with a combined 33 ARIA Awards and 16 Top Ten ARIA Albums. Comprised of four living legends in Australian rock music – Kram (Spiderbait), Darren Middleton (Powderfinger), Mark Wilson (Jet) and Davey Lane (You Am I) – they bring to the stage the rabid enthusiasm of friends who grew up as diehard music fans combined with the legacy, skills and experience of artists who have directly contributed to it.

Davey Lane said today, “Strap yourselves in and be our esteemed guests as we set the controls for the heart of the sunny Californian state, the spirit of ’76 and one of the greatest selling albums of all time – The Eagles’ Hotel California.

It’s incredibly precise and loose, fast and easy (seemingly) – we’re not shy of challenging ourselves and this could be the most challenging yet. We’ve been very lucky to grace some of the greatest Australian venues and concert halls over the last 7 years we’ve annually done this and we’re limbering up for this to be the biggest tour yet. We might even grow moustaches especially for the occasion!”

The tour starts in Brunswick Heads on Friday 5 June, followed by Brisbane, Newcastle, Thirroul, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, before wrapping up in Perth on Wednesday 24 June.
